Josh Blue, who won the fourth season of “Last Comic Standing” in 2006, has cerebral palsy. Though it’s sometimes difficult for him to control his right arm while performing on stage, it’s his words that make the audience laugh. Blue will perform this weekend at Jukebox Comedy Club, 3527 W. Farmington Road.

He starred in “Comedy Central Presents: Josh Blue,” which received rave reviews and recently debuted a new one-hour Showtime special, “Sticky Change.” He has appeared as a regular guest star on Comedy Central’s “Mind of Mencia” and his story has been featured on Fox, CBS, ABC and MSNBC. He was the first comedian to perform stand-up on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” was named Best Winning Reality Show Guest for his appearance on “Live with Regis and Kelly,” and made a guest appearance on “Comics Unleashed.”

Blue was also a member of the U.S. Paralympic Soccer Team and competed in Athens at the Paralympic Games, the world’s second largest sporting event. He resides in Denver with his wife, Yuko, their son, Simon, and daughter, Seika.

Showtimes are 8 p.m. Thursday and 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $19, except for the Thursday show and the 10:30 p.m. Friday show which are $16. Call 673-5853 or visit JukeboxComedy.com. The show is rated R. For information, go to joshblue.com.

His clean and witty act quickly landed the 30-year-old comic work at some of the top comedy venues in the country. Even more rooms soon began requesting him because of his clever observations, unique storytelling style, and ability to improvise with his audience.

He has appeared in “The Break-Up,” “Last Comic Standing,” 2 PBS mini-series, Comcast on Demand, ABC’s “Final Witness,” a National Geographic Special and heard on Sirius Satellite and ESPN Radio.

He will perform at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $12.50 with cash and $13.50 with credit cards. Call (217) 482-5233 or go to www.mclimits.com.
